It seems that Ants and Model Railroads do go together. The Alamogodo N-Scale Trains Society (ANTS) is a N-Scale Modular Model Railroad Club located in Alamogordo, New Mexico. The name (ANTS) was chosen because it was felt that if you’re going to be a bug, be one that goes to picnics.

With 4 corner modules and only 3 members, the original train layout was something to see. The Ants Model Railroad Club was founded in March 1993 by three N-Scale enthusiasts who wanted to be able to share their love of the hobby as a nonprofit group.

The model railroad club has grown since it’s inception with the main requirement for membership being a desire to model N Scale model trains.

The Ants Model Railroad Club built a model train layout for the Alamogordo and Otero County Centennial. It depicts the route going to Cloudcroft from Alamogordo. This model train layout shows how difficult it could be to get from Alamogordo and Cloudcroft. The Ants Model Railroad Club donated this layout to the Sacramento Mountains Historical Society. They are located in Cloudcroft, New Mexico and the model train layout can be viewed there.
